I trashed 'The Alchemist' for years without reading it... then I gave in

My book club picked it last month and I almost quit over it, but I read it anyway just to complain with evidence. By page 50 I was hooked on how simple the message was about paying attention to what's right in front of you. Anyone else have a book you hated on without reading that turned out to be better than expected?

Still don't get the hype honestly. Read the whole thing waiting for some big revelation and it just felt like fortune cookie wisdom stretched into a novel. Different strokes I guess.

Right? That book sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Oh wait, isn't that the one where the main character's name is actually Alex?
